Listeners, we're back this week with Kiana Estevez.
Kiana is an Afro-Latina founder, who's determined to create inclusive and empathetic solutions through food experiences. She created Aisle Mine, a social food movement, empowering people to step outside of their comfort zones and equalizing cultural differences through community experience.
She went to Boston University receiving her Bachelor’s in hospitality administration as a first-generation student. Kiana worked at Fenway Park where she managed 40 union employees and became the first minority department head handling an account bringing in over $1 million in annual recurring revenue. Then went on the restaurant tech sales, where she facilitated workshops for Sales Associates, which focused on lead generation, co-lead a six-person committee designed to enhance the workplace experience within the larger Sales Associate team.
Kiana dedicates much of her time to a multitude of initiatives ranging from strengthening the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) movement in the corporate tech world to finding innovative solutions supporting sales teams through revenue-generating events with clients and internal workplace experiences.
She finds purpose in being a resource for her audience and educating them on the cultural differences by spotlighting global cuisines as a means to change the ratio by experiencing food and community like never before.
During our conversation, Kiana and I talked about a lot of things!
- Her experience with 9/11
- Forgetting English when she lived with her grandmother in Dominican Republic
- What it means to her to be Afrolatina
- Claiming your identity
- And more...
